before you start

this is your foundation.

Most people don't have a bad diet because they lack willpower.

Most people just don't know what to buy.

The labels are confusing the marketing is designed to mislead you.

I made this guide to help you and make you realise eating healthy doesn't have to be complicated.

This is not a meal plan.

It's not a set of rules.

It's a framework, a way of thinking about food that you can carry with you every time you walk into a supermarket.
